Egg-free Double Chocolate Brownie Drops

I love brownies. A lot. The chewy deliciousness is even better when it’s an edge piece! Oh, mama! I struggle with egg-free brownie recipes. I’ve found one that is OKAY, but just not quite there.

I found a recipe for “brownie-like” chocolate cookies while searching for a good brownie recipe, and once I had made the necessary modifications, I fell in love. These babies are so good! They’re so easy to whip up, and the dough freezes well if you run out of time to bake the entire batch.

Be warned as you’re making this . . . especially if you are using an egg substitute . . . getting the dough wet enough is sometimes tricky. If you’re mixing it together and toward the end, it is a bit crumbly, add water, one tablespoon at a time, until it is right. Take a heaping tablespoon of it and roll it in your hand. If it holds its shape, it’s ready. If it crumbles a bit, add water.

This dough is a bit crumbly and required a few tablespoons of water to hold together.

Any time my kids smell something chocolatey baking, they excitedly ask if it’s these cookies baking. They really are that good!
